Merry Christmas!!


Merry Christmas everyone! This is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the snow, I love the decorations, I love everything about Christmas. I hope you all have a great Christmas too. We'll be going down to San Diego this year for Christmas, it will be a short trip but it should be a lot of fun. It will be great to see Cass's family again and even though it won't be a white Christmas I'm looking forward to the warm weather. Anyways, I thought I would post our Christmas Card here for you, sorry if you didn't get one, but if you didn't, it's only because we didn't have your address. Merry Christmas!



Aloha and Hello, Dear family and friends,

It’s hard to believe that it’s that time again.

It seems like we just wrote our last Christmas card,

A new poem each year might really get hard.

Where do we begin? It’s been quite a year,

We’ve been so blessed to have so many of you near.

So much has happened, there’s so much to share,

From the highest of high’s to the lowest despair.

As many of you know, we were expecting this year,

We were so excited to have a new “Malufau” here.

But while in San Diego, she arrived four months in advance,

She had bleeding in her brain, not giving life much of a chance.

But we had her for six days, and she taught us so much,

With such a special spirit, there we so many lives she touched.

Cass and I are closer now and so much more in love,

All because of our Cael, who’s home with our Father above.

Cassidy made it back and finished school just in time,

To graduate in August, and how she did it still boggles my mind.

She now works for the state, putting her degree to good use,

Saving the Utah Valley children from all kinds of abuse.

Between work, flying, and school, I don’t spend much time at home,

And it’s sad to think that same line might make next year’s poem.

But I just keep going, trying to imagine the end in sight,

When I’ll be finished with school and make my first Airline flight.

It’s been quite a year, but we still made it through,

We’re doing just great, and we wish the same for you.

We’ve been so blessed and we know this December,

That it’s all because of our Savior, whose birth we remember.





Here's another Christmas Card from Cassidy, while she was at the north Pole.
